***Denyx***
When we arrived at the police station I rushed inside and went straight to the jail and called for Mike.
“I want to see Mike Dela Vega please bring him to me.” I ordered the police in-charge.
“Yes, Mr. Moore give us a minute.”
After few minutes I saw Mike walking toward me and I rushed to him and punched his face.
“How dare you!” Pointing my finger on him.
Jerome hold me to stay calm.
“Denyx calm down. We are here to ask him not to kill him. Don’t lay your hands on him because we will make sure he will regret everything he did to Anna. But not at this moment. You can’t be in jail too at this time if you’ll put the law on your hands you can’t help me to find her.” Jerome lectured on me.
I took a deep breath and spoke again to Mike while looking at him on the ground where he fell.
“My father used to love you Mike. The way he described you to the people who loved him were way different of Mike you are now.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking Denyx.” He spoke.
“Oh come on Mike! You knew why Anna is missing don’t act innocent. When you found out she was alive for sure you planned to kidnap her.” I told him.
“I don’t know what you’re talking. Can’t you see I am here in jail?”
“Wherever you are, you have connections Mike and I knew that too. I won’t forgive you if something will happen to her.”
“I’m telling you I don’t know.” He denied.
“You know Mike, you’ll never understand why my father stopped writing you a letters because you didn’t want to know the truth, you’re a selfish person while he chose to let your life go on even it took away his own happiness. He cared for you and all you cared was yourself.” I told him.
“He never cared for me, Alfred chose to left me behind, he threw away our friendship the moment he stopped writing to me.” He shouted.
“You were wrong Mike, my dad stopped writing letters to you because he doesn’t want you to stop fulfilling your dreams. He was diagnosed with brain tumor and he knew that his life won’t be the same anymore. He kept it from you because he doesn’t want you to worry for him and leave your life behind if you’ll find out about his sickness.” I explained to him.
He looked at me and didn’t say anything. Then he spoke.
“He was diagnosed with brain tumor?” I can feel the pain in his heart while he asked me.
“Yes, he had a brain tumor. He was about to tell you to move here in Los Angeles so you both can start your career but before that happen he found out he had a brain tumor which change his life completely and yours. My father didn’t intend to hurt you Mike. He cared for you. He kept all these things because he did cared. You never take time to find out why but instead you chose to hate and revenged.”
I saw his tears fell on his face.
“If he just told me, I would understand.” He spoke while his tears running down his face.
“The reason he didn’t recognize you was because most part of his memories were gone. He didn’t even knew his parents after his operation. The memories my father had when you met again was his present memories he made everyday.”
“I didn’t mean to hurt him this way or Anna’s family. I was angry with Alfred because I thought he doesn’t want to live a life with me anymore.”
He wiped his tears that kept falling.
“I know it was hard for you at those times but believe me it was much more harder than him. My mother found a letter in my father’s personal belongings which is named to Mike Dela Vega. It belong to you. She’s on her way to give you the letter.”
The police officer assisted Mike Dela Vega to stand up. The my mother called out behind me.
“Denyx are you alright?” My mother asked rushing to me and hugged me tight.
“I’m okay mom. We still don’t have any lead where is Anna.” I told her.
“I’m sorry son. I know it is hard for all of us but we will find her. Here’s the letter from your father that address to Mike Dela Vega.” My mother handed me the letter and I took it from her hands. Mike was already sitting next to the police in-charge while waiting for me.
I let my mother sat next to Jerome and I came closer to Mike. I handed him the letter which my father wrote for him.
“Here’s the letter which my father wrote for you. I am sure it was written before his operation as it is written the date on the envelope.
Mike looked at me and the letter then he took it in my hand without saying a word. He opened the letter and read it.
“Dear Mike,
I know by the time you’re reading this letter I might be gone for or not surviving the operation or by the time I lost my memories already. I wrote it and put in my personal things so somebody can see it and give it to you.
I am so sorry if I have to stop sending you a letters. It wasn’t my intention to hurt you nor forgetting you. I just want you to continue your life without me.
I don’t want you to stop studying and be with me because I know you’re smart to fulfill our dreams.
I’m sorry if one day you’ll bump on me and I couldn’t recognize you anymore but I hope that time you will read this letter so you won’t think I am stupid for forgetting you.
I cared for you Mike since we met and we became best friends. I am very proud of you. You grew stronger and braver without me. All I wish everyday was that we can watch stars under the tree the way it used to be. I wish I am there listening and comforting you when your step father hit you again..
Will you believe it! Sometimes I sneaked out the house and sat under the tree and imagining you were next to me. Talking with each other’s dream.
Mike I am really sorry that I got sick. This brain tumor is killing me but this is what it is.
If ever I die soon, I want you continue to enjoy your life without me. I am really sorry if I will lost my memories and that’s might include my memories with you. I wish life isn’t like this but I know God has his own reason and purpose for giving us this trials. Please don’t loose your hope because of me. There are so much things in life that awaits for you.
I am forever grateful that once in my lonely life I found happiness with you.
I will be forever your best friend if ever I forget it in my memories but surely in my heart your place will always remain special.
You’re best friend,
Alfred.”
Mike suddenly stood up and hugged me tight while he melt down.
“I’m so sorry Denyx, I made a huge mistake. I killed my best friend because of my selfishness. I didn’t even make a way to find out why. I jumped in my own conclusion. I won’t forgive myself for what I have done.” He said feeling sorry after reading the letter of my father left for him.
He sobbed regretting what he did. I don’t know if I will be feeling sorry or hating him for all he did to us.
“You still have the chance to make up Mike. Tell us where is Anna.” I told him.
He sat down again and started talking.
“Anna might be at Kevin’s place.” He wrote down the address and handed me the paper. I took it from his hand and read the address where might Anna is.
“Thank you Mike, we are not done yet. I will see you again.’
“Just go Denyx save Anna before it’s too late.”
I walked towards mom and Jerome.
“Mom please go home it’s getting late. I promised we will bring her back.”
“Okay son, be careful.”
“Come on Jerome let’s go. Call the enforcers to follow us.”
Jerome made a call and instructed the police officers and military to follow behind us.
I’ve known Kevin since my mother married his father but we never get along because he live own his own. Sometimes we met occasionally but I never let him in into my life.
“Denyx we need to call uncle Arthur. He needs to know that we are on our way to another place where Chloe might be.”
“Yes, we will call him one we get in the car.”
Jerome and I walked towards my car and we both opened the both sides doors and we get in then buckled out seatbelts.
I started the engine and soon were on our way. I dialed uncle Arthur’s number and he picked so quickly.
“Denyx any news with Anna?” He asked worriedly.
“Uncle we are on our way to Kevin’s hideout. Anna might be there. Mike gave us this number.”
“Thank you Denyx. Please bring my daughter home.”
“I promised uncle I will. The authority are with us. We will bring Anna home uncle.”
“Please and take care too. Call me once you get her.”
“Surely uncle I will.” I ended the call and looked at Jerome sitting next to me. He is angry I can tell to his look.
“I will kill that man once I get him.” Jerome said while holding his fists. He and Mike deserve the jail.”
“I know you’re angry and we will save Anna. We won’t let Kevin succeed with his plan.’ I told him.
“You know Denyx, Anna had been through toughs many times and she is a strong woman but she doesn’t deserves all these things.”
“I know Jerome and I can’t imagine how she faces those trials. I want to make her happy. I promised after all these things she will have a break.”
“Thank you Denyx, I know how much you love her and I am happy for both of you. We will save her.”
“We will Jerome… We will!”
